Hey everyone, let's get together and brainstorm some ideas for improving the drupal search, sorta like we talked about that cold cold night in January.
TODO: Lee, add more content later
Web based configuration options
- weighting of html tags
- ability to define key words to be given more or less weight
- weighting individual nodes, taxonomy and content types more/less (including not show up at all in the search)
- example that is customizable and doesn't include blue smurfs.
User Interface
- simple user interface for basic users that easily expands for power users
- ability to link to an advanced search page that has the advanced options expanded by default
- more ajaxy like the funky drupal modules search
Results Tracking
- would be good to be able to see what searches lead to what pages in a sidebar block. People got to page x by typing in "blue smurf"
Questions
- transliteration - how does it deal with accents presently
